Cappuccino originated as a beverage in 19th century Vienna cafés, where the coffee menus were innovative: the customers could choose among up to 20 variations of coffees; mostly variations of black coffee and milk or cream. Innovative names like Kapuziner, Franziskaner, Phariseer etc were invented. The kapuziner (cappuccino in italian) was named so from the color of the Capuchin friars habit, which is light/darkish brown and at that time a frequently used term. The italian version of the austrian beverage had come south in the first decades of the 20th century, and grew in popularity as the large espresso machines in cafés and restaurants were improved during and after WW2. |

By the 1950's, the Italian cappuccino had found its form. The name cappuccino is inspired by the color of the beverage (the blend of dark coffee and milk and chocolate), which is a brownish-red, and has nothing to do with the cap of foam, which was a later addition to the drink, nor the description of a white hood or white rope as part of the costume: this is incorrect. The name of the friars themselves (and the monkey also named after them) comes from the Italian word for hood, cappuccio , which is also often used colloquially for the beverage (the '-ino' suffix denotes a diminutive in Italian). The capuchin friars habit again was inspired by St Francisco from Assisis original costume -with a pointed hood and this color as it is preserved in the basilika in Assisi. |
